This means that my time as acting-in-perpetuity unit chair of the APP-MCJ Guild is coming to an end (more on that later!), but the Gannett Regional Union isn’t going anywhere. We’re just getting started. ✊✊✊
Solidarity forever!

Thrilled to become a vice chair of the @nyguild.bsky.social with my Guild Forward comrades, led by the dynamic duo @susandecarava.bsky.social & Bill Baker.
Joining this union changed my life, and I’m excited to keep up the fight against bosses everywhere.

We hope this contract serves as inspiration for other Gannett workers to stop asking nicely and begin using their collective power to demand what they deserve.
Solidarity forever!
This is a historic moment for our newsrooms. We’ve won a contract that not only gives many of our members life-changing raises and job security provisions, but raises the floor for what’s possible in a Gannett newsroom.

It’s official: We have a contract!
APP-MCJ Guild members overwhelmingly approved our new contract with a 97% ratification vote and 92% turnout.
We’re also thrilled that our comrades and strike vote siblings in the Hudson Valley News Guild also ratified their contract today.
I’ve been trying (failing) to transition to BlueSky for a while, but here’s a good reason to break the ice.
The APP-MCJ Guild (repping staff at the Asbury Park Press, Courier News and the Home News Tribune) has reached a tentative agreement with Gannett management.
